13. Bluegrass Cat...Out of a full sister to Accellerator. Said mare has already dropped a good horse in Lord of the Game. That one was by Saint Ballado however. This time you've got Storm Cat on the top side. Thought he was in the B League as a 2YO, clearly has not demonstrated hes a top flight 3YO either in results or performance figures. If you play him, you're projecting a big forward move over a strip he doesn't appear to be handling. Tall Order.
14. Deputy Glitters...If you like Bluegrass Cat you have to love this guy. Clearly has come loose upon slop surfaces. He could catch a piece.
15. Seaside Retreat...Lemons Forever just proved real horses sometimes do run at Turfway. Doubt this one is in the same league.
16. Cause to Believe...I'm not sure one can identify where the Cause is upon which to Believe. He just as easily could be referred to as the "Faith Horse". Have faith he'll close as effectively at real ground as he did upon those lightning Northern Kalifornia tracks. Have faith the Illinois Derby was a fluke. Have faith he's really not a work horse and that he's not showing a disinclination for the Churchill Surface. I will say this, if you genuinely Believe in this horse, you should look real hard at the stretch run of the Kalifornia Derby and ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"
17. Lawyer Ron...I've read opinions that outside is good for him. I don't see it quite that way. His confrontation with Brother Derek is going to be interesting. I think hes a good horse, but the conditions will have me downgrading him. Mininal use with my key. I am worried about him.
18. Brother Derek...I sure dont see him getting to the lead from that post with these. If it happens I suppose his stock moves WAY up. I don't think he's quick enough to do it, but thats an individual call for the bettor.
19. Storm Treasure...This one is my clunk up special. Don't see him winning, but think he's a much better bet than Private Vow for an exotics bomb.
20. Flashy Bull...I bet him in the Florida Derby. Once bitten twice shy. Besides I'm convinced Jazil is a better horse.
